Kepler Orrery Simulation

Published on 5 Nov 2013This is a simulation of the planets that the Kepler satellite has so far found.

This shows the relative sizes of the orbits and planets in the multi-transiting planetary systems discovered by Kepler up to Nov. 2013. The colors simply go by order from the star (the most colorful is the 7-planet system KOI-351). The terrestrial planets of the Solar System are shown in gray.
